DIMESTORE LIFE (Mary Karlzen)

Ohhh I know it's hard to let go But these mistakes I gotta make, I gotta make on my own [see tab #1] C C Bm [hold] Ohhh, what a wonderful ride When all the happiness in the world Is right here on the inside G D/F# Em Em [pause] Right here on the inside

Double Time:

Instrumental; See Tab #2.

Instrumental

She was sixteen, never knew more Than the backporch swing and the counter at the dime store What do you know

Instrumental

She had dreams, dreams of many things A life on the road and all that brings Ohhhh, there's got to be more Than this counter at the dime store

Instrumental

Ohhhh, what does this life have in store I need to know if there's any more I need to know Mama, won't you please let me go G D/F# Em C D D D [stop.] Mama, won't you please let me go

Wave goodbye at the end of spring Drop down a graduation gown and a high school ring Echo on the gym floor

Instrumental

A life made from cards and sticks The kind of broke that money can't fix Ohhhh, this road'll take me somewhere And I'll know it when I get there

Instrumental

Ohhhh, what does this life have in store I need to know if there's any more I need to know Mama, won't you please let me go Mama, won't you please let me go

Guitar Solo

Em Em C C Em Em D [hold]

Guitar Solo

Day to day, and town to town Mama writes, "I can never track her down" She's gonna find what she's looking for

Instrumental

Thirty-one when she finally makes it home With the wisdom of the world, a woman fully grown Oh I never needed more Than this counter at the dime store Than this counter at the dime store

Instrumental

Ohhhh, what does this life have in store I need to know if there's any more I need to know Mama, won't you please let me go Mama, won't you please let me go Mama, let me go...

Repeat And Fade G D/F# Em C With Ad Lib Vocals

[Both of these are probably a little off, mostly because they're played on an electric guitar and I only have an acoustic. I know the notes are right, but I might be playing them on the wrong strings, as usual.]
